New: The build system requires the bsd compat libraries even if only installing man pages

Bug ID: 216602
Summary: The build system requires the bsd compat libraries
even if only installing man pages
Product: Documentation
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: man-pages
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Regression: No
In version 6.0, Makefile unconditionally includes lib/build-src.mk, which itself unconditionally runs "pkg-config" to search libbsd-overlay. This generates spurious messages if this library is not installed, while this library is not needed if only installing the man pages on the system.
Note: I'm one of the linuxfromscratch editors, and we install the man pages early in the process.

Resolution|--- |CODE_FIX--- Comment #1 from Alejandro Colomar (man-pages) ([email protected]) --- Hi Pierre!
Thanks! I was worried about it but didn't know what to do. I've fixed now:
I'll release 6.01 soon with this fix, since it's important enough. I would release 6.00.1, but I prefer releasing some recent changes that deserve a new release.
